Inspired by my dearest friend, Amber Lotus, this is my Gratitude List revisited.  The following things I am utterly thankful for:

•  I love my job.  I am in the best position for where I am going.  I am surrounded by spectacular people whom I love and respect.  I take pride in where I work.  I am paid well, and it seems like I get raises frequently.  I am appreciated by the families and the surgeons.  I have made some awesome friendships!  I love my cubicle and the new facility.
• I love my beautiful home!  I have a magnificent home, filled with books and plants and love.  I love the people I live with!  They are my family and my best friends.  When I come home, they run up to greet me with, “Sunshine!!!”
• We live in the most amazing neighborhood!  We have the best neighbors EVER, who are quickly becoming my close friends.  We have a reservoir and a park RIGHT across the street.  The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and warm.  The people are kind and considerate.  I love my newly found friends across the street, and I always have an excellent time when we’re together.
• I love my guy.  He’s everything I desire in a partner.  We can and do talk about anything and everything.  I find comfort in his companionship, and love that he’s always there for me.  He is kind, passionate, and aware of how I feel.  We share a beautiful life together, and we’re only becoming closer!  I never dreamed that this would be what it is, and our relationship is even better than what I had thought I could have!
• I love my new family!  I now help parent and raise two magnificent kids.  They’re happy, healthy, and brilliant.  They get along well and are VERY well behaved.  They are smart, funny, and playful.  They are respectful and generous.  They are aware and astute.
• I have some of the most amazing relationships, even if I’m not able to see my friends in person regularly.  I have a network of people who enjoy keeping touch with me and holding conversations through email and chat, and for that I’m eternally grateful.  I don’t know that I could make it through my semester without my people who are comfortable having part of– if not a majority of– our communication online.  Eventually, I’ll have time enough to see my people in person, but in the meantime, I still have them right in front of me on the computer.  Yay for that!
• I have everything I need in my material life.  I always have enough to eat, nice clothes to wear, laundry soap to wash them, shampoo, soap, toothpaste, and toilet paper.  I have enough gas in my car to get me from point A to point B, and I have a reliable vehicle to take me.  I ALWAYS have enough of everything.  I want for nothing as far as my needs go!

I could probably go on and on, gushing with gratitude.  I’m going to end it at that, though, because I think that sufficiently covers my bases.  I am surrounded with good people.  Good friends, good family, good things.  I am truly, truly blessed.

   I’m so happy I did my gratitude list because so many of my friends turned around and made new ones themselves and I’m grateful to read what everyone’s grateful for! Actually, first and foremost as far as gratitude lists go, I’m grateful for YOU for showing me The Secret (LOOOOONG before it was so trendy, people!), which is the only reason I even know what a gratitude list IS! Thanks, babe. *HUG*
